Cornelia Parker (Broché)

'These are objects that had a life and then became unmade... burned, shot, squashed, stretched, exploded, cut or simply dropped off cliffs. Sometimes their demise has been orchestrated, or it may have occurred accidentally or by natural causes. They might be 'pre-empted' objects that have not yet achieved a fully formed identity, having been plucked prematurely from the production line... They may not even be classified as objects : things like cracks, creases, shadows, dust, dirt, etc.
Or they might be those territories you want to avoid psychologically, such as the backs, underbellies or tarnished surfaces of things.' Cornelia Parker.
